Terre Blanche is named for the veins of white clay that streak this vineyard that help the soil retain moisture in dry vintages.andnbsp;80% Destemmed, aged 11 months in a mix of barrels and tonneaux, and 70% of the larger casks are new.andnbsp; This is arguably Monier's most exciting cuvandeacute;e and one that we clamor for every year.andnbsp;Wine always needs a 2 -andnbsp;3 hour decant, but given the solar vintage, this should be more approachable than normal. Fun vintage to grab while we have some stocks available.andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;

Wonderful nose. Decanted about 2 hours and drank over 4. Good intensity and richness on the palate. Tannins are already pretty well integrated. I would drink in the near-mid term. Classy Syrah.
